Epstein photos are included in this article. I'm uncomfortable describing some of the photos. I get it from my mother who only said "breast" when referring to fried chicken.

The undated photographs are from Epstein’s email account and computer, according to Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, who published the photographs on Friday.

WOW. So this is obviously a huge violation of this man's rights, and it illustrates a few things we're seeing broadly:
- DHS officers are ignoring peoples' IDs and instead requiring screening through their own systems
- Confirms @404media.co's reports of use of DHS's facial recognition app.

Already this year, anti-vaccine activists have downplayed the risks of measles and polio.
Now, they’re adding whooping cough to the list, even as cases of the disease surge, killing at least ten babies over the past two years.

According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs.
Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵

We now learn that Fifa had a very specific "ask" in exchange for its "Peace Award" to Trump, with loads of gold trinkets, and that was dismissal of a criminal corruption case against senior Fifa officials. And Trump granted it. Another corrupt bargain, barely noticed (and ignored by US media).

This new Politico poll should stop us all in our tracks!
50% of Americans are struggling to afford groceries, let’s start there. Then add the fact that we have a president who thinks we’re lying about it.
I’m just waiting for the next poll that asks, “Does the president care about people like me?”

It's a tale of two consumers this holiday season — and they're both at Walmart
"They don’t have the sales they used to have,” said Eileen Gowlak, a retiree who is prioritizing groceries at Walmart over clothes. She’s not alone.

This has largely been memory-holed but in Trump 1.0, he picked a big public trade fight with China. They retaliated by cutting off agriculture purchases, farmers got squeezed, Trump mailed them checks and had to go crawling back to Xi for a face-saving "deal".

In the 11-months-feels-like-much-longer of the Trump 2.0 regime, I'm shocked and saddened by how quickly human and civil rights violations, extrajudicial murders and police state brutality have become minor, ho-hum stories in the daily news cycle.

You can be the most loving, compassionate person in the world... but... if you’re not actively guarding your mind...you will become desensitized to human suffering...in ways that are far beyond what you would ever consider acceptable.
They’re not hiding the brutality anymore.
